I was surprised myself and feel very fortunate that Yamaha agreed to carry this work out on a bike of this age.
When the nice lady at Skellerns looked into the bikes history (only very early stuff) there was no record of any modification to this area. She went on to say that, in their experience, as long as the parts involved were 'out of tolerance' then, generally, yamaha would agree to the work. All parts are shipped from Holland - so a couple of days wait there - then about 12 hours labour.
Can't wait to get the old girl back now. Fed-up with sitting motionless in queues of traffic every day.

If it ain't broke.......just tinker with it a little anyway!
